Vaccine storage

Vaccine storage refers to the specific conditions required to keep vaccines effective and safe until they are used. Most vaccines need to be kept at controlled temperatures, often in refrigerated or frozen environments, to maintain their potency. Proper storage protects vaccines from heat, light, and other factors that could degrade them. Facilities like clinics and hospitals use specialized refrigerators or freezers and routinely monitor temperatures to ensure they remain within the recommended range. This careful handling ensures that when vaccines are administered, they work as intended to provide immunity.
